    Crazy Craft Fanatic

    I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glue, glitter and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
